Relationship rooted, one of a kind interiors.

Designing homes from concept to completion, shaped by collaboration, care, and intention, both locally and beyond.

We design homes for the way you live.

Through a thoughtful, values-driven process, we create warm, livable spaces that are deeply personal and intentionally designed. Every home is tailored to reflect the people who live there — resulting in spaces that feel timeless, meaningful, and truly their own.

At the heart of Nyla Free Designs is a desire to create spaces that tell a story — of the people who live there, the art they love, and the life unfolding within the walls. NFDI’s work reflects a quiet confidence and warmth, resulting in interiors that feel both refined and genuinely lived in.

We create homes that feel as good as they look; calm, personal, and thoughtfully composed.

Each project is brought to life by way of a collaborative process through understanding who you are, clarity in concept, and attention to detail. The result is a home that reflects how you live, not just how it appears.

Kind Words

Nyla Free Designs Kind Words

  • “The consultant we hired was effusive in his praise for your drawing set, your designs and the deficiency list you prepared. He ran a custom home building company for a number of years and said if he was still in that business, he would want to do every project with you or someone of your calibre.”

    AH - Jackfish Lake, AB

  • “Nyla sourced unique things that we couldn’t have found in our local retailers, she collaborated with us and encouraged us to be more adventurous when she knew the result would be amazing, and she worked hard to find common ground between me and my husband when we didn’t agree.”

     KL - West Vancouver

  • “Thank you for all that you and your team does, Nyla. You have made this house build so much easier and I know I’ll have a home that reflects your creativity, aptitude for design, organizational expertise, communication skills, and a flair for all things interior.”

    GW - Calgary

  • “We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional work you’ve done this year. Your collective expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have been evident throughout the project, and we are truly grateful for the care you bring to every aspect.”

    CC - Canmore

  • “When we walked into the space for the first time, it felt exactly like us. Nyla just made “us” far more stylish! She literally created a turnkey experience for us.”

    KL - West Vancouver

  • “Working with Nyla and her team completely changed how we use and enjoy our primary suite. She really took the time to understand how we live, our daily routines and how much we value the limited lake views we have, and designed the space around that.”

    CJ - Calgary

We are almost there! Even though things are still in progress I couldn’t help share a BTS as well as the before photo. I had forgotten what the ensuite looked like pre construction and was blown away when I pulled up the original image. There
